They say insanity can be categorized by doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results. So it is that we are occasionally unable to let past relationships lay buried beneath the earth, usually where they belong — and celebrities are, apparently, no different. Scroll on to see which Hollywood couples have also suffered the on-again/off-again relationship curse that plagues so many of us.

John Mayer and Katy Perry: John and Katy were back-and-forth in their relationship for quite a while before ultimately calling it quits in 2015, before Katy started dating nude paddleboarder Orlando Bloom.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom: Katy and Orlando first linked up in 2016 and dated for a year before splitting in February 2017.

They are both working on making it right this time.”

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez: There is no more of a Shakespearean-style love story than that of Jelena: The two started out madly in love in 2012, before breaking things off at the end of the year. Enter the next four years — 2013 to 2016 — which involved a series of make-ups and break-ups with the couple, a very public social media feud and the release of Selena’s all-too-autobiographical “The Heart Wants What It Wants.” In January 2017, it looked like things were over for good with #Jelena once Selena started dating The Weeknd — but after Sel announced her split from the rapper and started seeing Justin constantly, it’s clear that these two will always come back to each other.

Chloe Grace Moretz & Brooklyn Beckham: Chloe and Brooklyn dated for two years before splitting in September 2016, but they rekindled their romance in late 2017 — several months after statements from Madison Beer that she and Brooklyn were having fun flirting and getting to know each other. The couple appeared together for the first time since their split in November, when they co-hosted the Xbox One x VIP Event & Xbox Live Session in New York.

Eleanor Calder and Louis Tomlinson: Louis and Eleanor began dating before One Direction hit it big, and the pair stayed together for years until they quietly broke up after four years together. But their story didn’t end there, as the two found their way back to each other two years after their breakup — even after the birth of Louis’ son, Freddie.

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake: Rumors of splits and separations plagued Justin and Jessica’s relationship since the pair started dating in 2007. But even a confirmed 2011 breakup couldn’t keep the two apart forever, as they’re currently married and have one child together.
